Sir Tim Berners-Lee pushes for the closure of EU net neutrality loopholes

on

"Issuing a letter, Berners-Lee hopes to ensure that EU regulation voted upon in October are enacted in full to close loopholes in the law, asking for the public to get involved.

Alongside Harvard law professor Lawrence Lessig and Stanford law professor Barbara van Schewick, Berners-Lee said: “Network neutrality for hundreds of millions of Europeans is within our grasp," the letter reads.

"Securing this is essential to preserve the open Internet as a driver for economic growth and social progress. But the public needs to tell regulators now to strengthen safeguards, and not cave in to telecommunications carriers’ manipulative tactics.”"
